Copper sulfate, when it is dissolved in water, has a blue color. When steel wool is mixed with a copper sulfate solution, the st

eel wool disappears, a brownish solid forms, and the color of the solution changes from blue to green.
Choose one answer that gives the best evidence that a chemical reaction took place.

A. The color change from blue to green happens in nature.

B. The disappearance of the steel wool shows that a new substance has formed.

C. The solid precipitate is a waste product in the reaction.

D. Energy is lost in this reaction like all other reactions.

Answer:

A. The color change from blue to green happens in nature.

Explanation:

The color change is an indicator of a chemical reaction that has occurred. Although color changes are not necessarily good diagnostic tool to measure if a chemical reaction has occurred or not.

  • In this reaction, color changes is quite an effective tool
  • Chemical changes usually involves the formation of a new product from the chemical reaction.
  • Also, the steps are not easily reversible.
  • For this reaction, color change is the most appropriate signal for a chemical change.

Draw the aromatic compound toluene (methylbenzene). show all hydrogen atoms, including those on the ring.
Otrada [13]

Aromatic compound has continuous cyclic structure with( 4n+2)π electrons (Huckels rule), where n = 0,1,2…

Here number of pi electron are 6, where 4 from two double bond and 2 from nitrogen non-bonding electrons, hence it has total 6 pi electrons, therefore

6= ( 4n+2)π

4 = 4n  

n =1

 

Hence it is an aromatic compound

When 20.0 grams of an unknown compound are dissolved in 500. grams of benzene, the freezing point of the resulting solution is 3
Lelu [443]

Answer: 120g/mol

Explanation:

The first step we are to take is to calculate the freezing point depression of the solution.

ΔT(f) = freezing point of pure solvent - freezing point of solution

ΔT(f) = 5.48 - 3.77

ΔT(f) = 1.71°C

Next we are to calculate the molal concentration of the solution using freezing point depression

ΔT(f) = K(f) * m

m = ΔT(f)/K(f)

m = 1.71/5.12

m = 0.333 molal

Now, we calculate the molecular weight of the unknown...

m = 0.333 mol = 0.333 mol X per kg of benzene

moles of X = 0.333 mol of X per kg of benzene * 0.5kg of benzene

moles of X = 0.1665

molecular weight of X = 20g of X/0.1665

molecular weight of X = 120/mol

Predator-prey relationship examples in the marine
astraxan [27]

Answer: Seastars prey on mussels and shellfish which would otherwise have no other natural predators. Herbivorous fish like the butterflyfish pictured to the left prey on marine algae. Without this crucial predator-prey balance, the algae would over-grow, which would then kill coral, as they compete for the same resources.
